OS upgrade for Touchsmart tx2-1270us (Windows Vista 64bit upgrade to Windows 8.1/10)

I need to upgrade my laptop's OS since Win Vista it's very slow and becoming obsolete. Previoulsy I had Win 7 installed and it worked perfectly but the HDD busted and had to get Win Vista again (don't ask why). I've read that Win 8/8.1 may be compatible but some of the PC features loose fucntionality and there is no workaround. If this is the case, then there is no point for me to upgrade to Win 8 or later. Should I upgrade - again - to Win 7 and stick with it? Please help.

Jean,
I think that you will find Win7-64 with an increase in RAM will offer a bit more stability and performance gain, though only a 64-bit program will get you a real increase. Whether the "bang for the buck" is enough to justify the move, is another matter. Harm and Bill G. can probably quantify that increase in performance for you, to help with the decision.
One caveat that I might offer would be the 64-bit drivers currently available. Word on the street indicates that that situation will likely improve with Win7-64 SP1. As you will be using CS4, you should not have the issue with Effects, CODEC's, etc., being 32-bit, even if you have a 64-bit OS.
Good luck, and expect a couple of folk to have some real-world numbers for you, to help you make the final decision.

Error installing N-Trig MultiTouch software for HP TouchSmart tx2 1270us with OS Windows 7

Hello. I would like to ask somebody to help me installing the Multitouch technology on my TouchSmart tx2 1270us Notebook PC. The original system came with OS Windows Vista. I bought an Upgrade for Vista from Microsoft and installed Windows 7. The problem is, that I can not use my Notebook as a Tablet( normally its working), because during the instalation of the file, downloaded from drivers&support page, comes an FATAL ERROR DURING INSTALATION, which says, that N-Trig HARDWARE was not found on my OS. The Multitouch technology does not work with WINDOWS VISTA. All I did before, was Windows reinstalation due to extremely slowed down system running, caused by too many installed programs and aplications. Exactly that reinstalation caused the whole problem. Now Im very sad about that and can not write on the display with a finger. Can anyone please help ME? If you want I can pay something. PLEASE HELP... Thanks.

Hello DimtrijShal:
         Sorry to hear about Windows 7 failer. Are you able to do a full recovery using your orginal recovery disk? If so please back up all the files you have before doing it. Write down the Windows 7 product code also. We will need it ounce you have vista windows reinstalled. You can find it in the package it came in or in the control panel displaying computers information. This number is also none as product key.
     Now that your computer has been restored to original factory condition. You are now able to update Vista Windows to Windows 7 but this time you are going to use Windows Up Advisory open it up should be listed. This time just type in Windows 7 Product Code number and let it do its thing.
       You can also goto your computers update web-page and see what's all involved in Up grading to Windows 7 they may have HP's Touchsmart software upgrades listed for downloads. Most Touchsmart software is listed. I have not yet seen any that did not display them. Yes you are in the correct section for your post. Some one need to realise HP Touchsmart tx2 are Touch computers also. So do not move your post from here. Let us know if you are still having troubles with your upgrade. Thank you frrw

Help with Drivers for HP dv8315nr for Windows Vista 64bit

Hi everyone! In 2007 i bought a laptop a HP Pavilion dv8315nr with the hope that the stickers in his keyboard saying "Vista Compatible" was true and the promise of that the AMD Turion processor can handle a 64bit OS. Today i realize that was not entirely true, because i got the Windows Vista ultimate for 64bits and the processor can handle this OS but i see that in the HP site don't provide any support for the drivers, so i get the problem that i don't have audio in my laptop and the modem adapter doesn't work either.
My question is can anybody help me with the audio driver for the HPdv8315nr for windows vista 64bit, that's my priority.
I appreciate the attention for this manner. Thank you
Jorge

I have the same problem with my Photosmart 7350's--I have two. I cannot get either to work with the New Mac Pro driver--Gutenprint .... I got the new drivers from Apple for HP but they fixed nothing. I even downloaded the newer drivers from HP, but their Printer Assistant does not seem to be working. I downloaded it twice. I can get a test page to print a few lines but the rest of the page is blank. When I try to print with either Pages or Word I get either nothing or trash.
My computer is the New Mac Pro 2.8 8-core with OS X 10.5.4.
These printers work with my Windows machine and I have read where they work with the Mac OS X. Can someone help. The link for printing trouble shooting did not help. My guess is the driver but I cannot get one do show up even after the HP download.
thank dr_lynch

Ts-L633a DVD drive not compatible with Windows 7 64bit upgrade

Ts-L633a DVD drive on my Pavilion Dv7 1232nr is not compatible with Windows 7 64bit upgrade but will work fine if I downgrade back to Vista 64bit so what DVD drive is there other then the TS-L633a drive that I already have that is compatible with the Windows 7 64 upgrade so that I can buy and install on my laptop.

Here's one out of nowhere: do you have CD/DVD software that includes Sonic DLA or something like it? I've seen that take over drives and prevent normal operation.
If you right click on the drive and hit properties, are there any suspicious looking tabs?
Total WAG, and about 1% likely, but there you go.

ICloud wont work on Windows Vista 64bit

Hey there,
Ive been using iCloud with my iPhone 4, iPad and my MacBook Pro since it came out and it all works perfect.
Now I wanted it to run on my Windows Vista 64bit Desktop PC, to sync with Safari, Outlook etc.
My problem is: Everytime I start iCloud and confirm my username and password, iCloud is just shutting down saying "iCloud is no longer working" (in German: iCloud funktioniert nicht mehr)
I reinstalled it severall times and its always the same error...MobileMe has the same error by the way...Ive searched so long on the web and in other forums but no one had a clue...Hopefully you can help me!
Thanks,
p0ly

Hmmm. No, not exactly, but close enough (for me). Sorrry, in my rush I klutz'd the response. First I had MicroSoft do a clean install of 64 bit Offfice on my 64 bit Vista, then I uninstalled MobileMe, and iCloud, then reinstalled iCloud in that order. Oh...and by the way ... this was on 2 of my Vista machines. My virgin Win 7 machine had no issues at all with 32 bit.
The salient point I (regretably) missed in my first reply was to clean up the all references to Outlook in the registry. The tech tought the problem was related to keys for a (long ago) trial version of Office; Tho that was speculation on his part.
One thing is clear: The Apple tech said MobileMe has been replaced by iCloud and to remove it!
In the process, I learned that each (4) MS tech's stated, "Outlook has no issues, the problem is with Apple." I had to force them to do a clean install ... after failing with 2 techs I took a harder stance - happy I did. One told me they are under pressure to keep their calls under 15 minutes. Uninstall/cleanup/reinstall took ~2 hours.
Appologies p0ly,
tom

Windows Vista 64bit and Zen, Video Convertsion

We just updated out computer to one with Windows Vista 64bit.
Everything was fine until we tried to convert a .mov file to place it on the Zen. First it said we needed Quicktime ver 7 (which apparently the original video was created with). Tried to install that, to no avail. Turns out Quicktime 7 is not supported under Vista 64bit, according to Apple.
I then found on another message board of people having trouble running iTunes on Vista 64. Use the following link:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can then select the 64bit version of iTunes.
After the install the video conversion worked perfectly.
Hope this helps others.
Thanks

Can I run 64bit Vista in Bootcamp?
Yes. Both the computer and OS X are fully 64-bit compliant.
You can install a second video card that does not work with OS X but does work with Windows. Third-party video cards do not work with OS X because they do not have the EFI boot ROM required by OS X. They will, however, work when you boot into Windows. You do not need to convert the Mac Pro to a Windows-only machine which would seem a waste of perfectly good hardware and software.
You can install any SATA hard drive in the Mac Pro. There is no limitation with regard to size. Cache, however, is a feature of the drive and not the computer. Apple does not "qualify" drives for use with the computer.
These questions have been discussed in the Mac Prp fourms so I suggest you search the forums for other discussions of the topics.

Palm Centro / Windows Vista 64bit

Has anyone figured out how to sync music to a Palm Centro using Windows Vista 64bit? My understanding is that there is not a USB driver for Vista 64. I can already HotSync my Centro using Bluetooth, that works (albeit slow) but can't sync music and as anyone with a Centro knows, removing the memory cards is inconvenient.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Even if there was a way to sync music files to your Centro from a Vista desktop, music files tend to be large and take a long time to sync. The best way to put music files onto your card with any operating system is by dragging & dropping onto the /audio folder on your card with a card reader. Removal of the micro SD card from the Centro isn't all *that* inconvenient. Not like you need to do it very often.

Problems (bugs) with Project Explorer LV8.5.1 Windows Vista 64bit

Helo all,
I am using Windows Vista 64bit with all updates and service packs on an ASUS G1 dual core 4gig memory. After writing code for a while I find that I cannot execute my top level vi from the project explorer. I can run the vi from outside the project no problem. If I try to create a new project and load the vi into it the LV hangs and the windows task manager cannot kill either the vi or the new project explorer, I have to reboot the computer to recover. I have attached the vi.
regards,
Karl

Satellite P100: Conexant audio is not supported on Windows Vista 64bit

Last week I install the new system as Windows Vista 64bit but no sound. I think that was the problem with the 64bit audio driver. Is that anyone has the new driver for vista 64bit?

It seems some devices are not recognized by Vista common drivers which were shipped together with the Vista OS and therefore new drivers are needed. But because the Vista is not official on the market (official start is end of January 2007) the drivers are not published.
But where did you get the 64bit Vista version???

Can anyone tell me if PSE7 is compatable on Windows Vista 64bit? I'm trying to prevent my system from continually crashing.

Can anyone tell me if PSE7 is compatable with Windows Vista 64bit? I'm trying to prevent my system from continually crashing.

This has been answered many times before, but my 2 cts for what it is worth...
I have a new PC with Vista Home Premium 64 bit, 6 GB memory, two disks, quad processor, MS Office Small Business, etc. I made a backup on my old machine to a USB disk of my 40 GB of pictures managed with PSE-7. I then installed PCE-7 on the new 64 bit machine and did a restore of the pictures. All worked first time without the slightest problem. I also installed much other software also without doing anything special concerning the 64 bits and without any problems.
Two other points possibly of interest:
- One can deal with iTunes loosing access to playlist items by exporting the playlists into an XML file and making a global edit of the file path names if the data strutcture on the new machine is different. One then imports the corrected XML.
- I bought a 2560*1600 30 inch NEC display and viewing good-quality digital pictues is amazing. The first time I have found an output device with resolution better than a tiny fraction of what is in the picture files. Colours are also excellent.
